Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man’s Chest hits the theatres next week, and I can’t wait! Johnny Depp is totally TDF (= To Die For) in this movie! He’s hot, he’s sexy, he’s funny and he’s your total anti hero!
We’ve spent so much time on this blog talking about our dark, tortured heroes, who […]

Characters We Can’t Forget
June 28, 2006; 8:22 am
This topic came up a few weeks ago in the comments section of a blog and it got me thinking. What fictional characters do you remember long after “the end” and why?
I have several: Stephanie Plum, Lula, Joe Morelli, Ranger, Sebastian, the Marquis of Dain (Lord of Scoundrels), and in the paranormal realm […] -

Tall, Dark, and Tortured
June 26, 2006; 7:36 am
I’ve been noticing a trend recently. Maybe it’s not a trend, maybe it’s been around for a long time, but the noticing of it has just happened for me.
Tortured heroes.
And I’m not just talking mentally. Physically tortured. Mercilessly.
These are paranormal romances I’m talking about.
But I see it visual media too.
For example: (SPOILERS FOR BUFFY IF […] -
Romance vs Mainstream
June 22, 2006; 9:13 pm
Okay, so I’m on vacation this week because I just turned in a book (yay!) so this week has been all about reading. So far, I’ve read two books that are classified outside the romance genre. Call them urban fantasy, call them paranormal kick ass chick lit, or whatever you want. The thing is, they […]

Missing Items
June 22, 2006; 6:40 am
I’m officially living out of boxes at my in-laws. Yes, our home sold and the closing was Tuesday, so we are now homeless until our new house is ready. And while I’m constantly searching for items packed heaven knows where–that isn’t really the kind of “missing” I’m talking about. Have you ever […]

The Quick Fix
June 21, 2006; 4:27 am
I’ve been looking at my bookcase–or at least the one bookcase I have left in my office since the great purge of 2005 when I gutted the place and removed several van loads of stuff. Most off what I have left are paranormal research books and writing books. (Downstairs there is another bookcase […]

Storm Drains and Clowns
June 20, 2006; 4:48 am
I’ve established myself as the resident wimp, so some of you might find it surprising that I am a huge Stephen King fan. Yes, there are times when he goes too far for my comfort level, and goodness knows if I had my way many of his endings would be different. But that doesn’t really […]

“Mikado “Mikki” Empousai has inherited her family’s extraordinary gift for cultivating roses. For generations, the women of Empousai have used drops of their blood to help grow these magnificent roses. Generally, Mikki lives a typical life in Tulsa, but recently she has been having strange and erotic dreams about a man/beast she can’t quite see. […]

The Newer, Cooler Hardy Boys
June 14, 2006; 8:09 pm
Okay, we’ve talked about the appeal of both Angel and Spike. We’ve voted on which of these studly vampires is our favorites. (Again, I’m totally in the Spike camp.) But I have to admit, I’m more obsessed with another paranormal tv show’s hunky boys.
Supernatural
We’ve previously talked about this show too. But I really don’t think […] -

Pennies From Heaven
June 13, 2006; 4:27 am
I suppose it gives away my age to confess that I know the words to that song. Some of them, anyway. I sing a while and hum a while. Every time it rains it rains, pennies from heaven. Hmm hmm hmm . . . Sometimes I dance, but that’s another story for another time.
Is there […] -
Do you believe in Soulmates?
June 12, 2006; 8:27 am
I was a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding this weekend. My shoes were torture. The dress pinched, the day was very long, and my face hurt from smiling, but in the end it was all worth it. Why? Because my friend (whom I’ve known since college, so going on 13 years now) was ridiculously happy. […]
